@MrOvis_ Americans have a fetish with being exploited in the workplace.

[Mr. Ovis🐑💼(Office Worker Sheeptuber) @MrOvis_]

One of the biggest reasons I hate when people shill for blue collar careers is because the entire culture is so ass. I've worked blue collar work:
-Everyone is in a running gun battle to prove they're toughest and put up with the most bullshit outta everyone else. If you're wearing comfy shoes, they gotta make sure to point out they've been wearing the same shitty boots for the last 30 years!
-Every single blue collar job seems to be obsessed with sucking you in and getting you to be there long-term. I worked with a carpentry company for a few months, they spent literally the entire time, nearly every day, being like "Oh yeah man, we've got lots of guys who've been here for like 13 years, we're like a family." Very very little sense of any kind of career progression or ambition.

Miami Beach, 1991. Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, when three supermodels on one beach was enough to stop the decade.

Which of the three was your favorite?

“They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for ones country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.”

- Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway wrote the line in his 1935 essay “Notes on the Next War” to push back against old ideas of patriotism and battle. He was answering the Roman poet Horace, who had called it sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.

As an ambulance driver in World War I, Hemingway had seen the slaughter himself and rejected that romantic picture of sacrifice. Industrial war, he argued, leaves no room for personal glory and turns lives into waste. When he said soldiers die like dogs for no good reason, he was warning that modern conflict is mass killing without meaning, not noble heroism.

Monogamy isn't the historical norm.

Women behaving in a hypergamous manner isn't a modern derangement.

The historical norm was a small number of high status males having a frankly ludicrous number of partners, some of whom were wives, some concubines, others merely mothers to illegitimate children.

Monogamy in the modern understanding is largely the result of Roman and Christian social norms fusing.

[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

This is a clip taken in 1972 of Ugandan citizens reacting to the expulsion of Asian Gujaratis in the country by Idi Amin.

One citizen comments: “Asians are very shrewd people, and Africans have been denied opportunities.”

Reminds me of this observation by Thomas Sowell: “Middleman minorities are most hated where they are most needed.”

Japanese journalist explains how Jews control the United States. His name is Akira Ikegami, and he's well-known in Japan for explaining complex international and domestic current events in an easy-to-understand manner on television.

Many recognize him for interviewing Jared Taylor and siding with American Renaissance, which argues that America should remain European and Japan should remain Japanese.

Also note how clean the subway is and how nicely dressed everyone is. A shocking decline across society.

George Washington on gambling: 'This is a vice which is productive of every possible evil...It is the child of Avarice—the brother of inequity—& father of Mischief—It has been the Ruin of many worthy familys—the loss of many a mans honor—& the cause of Suicide"

“The child who obeys you out of fear will one day lie to you for freedom.”

- Niccolò Machiavelli

When a relationship is built only on control, obedience is just a short-term survival strategy—not real respect or loyalty.

People under strict authority quickly learn that honesty gets punished, so they start using deception to get some of their freedom back. In parenting and leadership alike, ruling through fear wrecks trust and forces people to hide the truth just so they can feel like they have any autonomy at all.

[HONITEL👑 @HonitelHQ]

After university, you’ll realize that 95% of the people you called your friends were only your friends because of proximity. You lived together, saw each other every day, attended the same classes, and naturally became close.

After school, you’ll quickly realize you have absolutely nothing in common with most of them, and you’ll never speak again. Not because of any disagreement or malice, but because once the proximity is gone, so is the compatibility.

A lot of friendships were never built on genuine connection. They were just convenient.

“There is no peace for the man who has seen what he could become.”

- Epictetus

Epictetus (c. 50–135 CE) was an ancient Greek Stoic philosopher who taught that true freedom comes from mastering your own mind, choices, and reactions rather than trying to control the world around you.

Born into slavery, he eventually became one of the most influential thinkers of Stoicism. His teachings centered on the distinction between what is within our control and what is not. Our judgments, choices, desires, and actions belong to us, while other people’s opinions, wealth, reputation, and external events remain outside our control.

His philosophy was deeply practical rather than purely theoretical. Epictetus believed that difficulties should not simply be endured but used as opportunities to develop courage, patience, discipline, and wisdom. For him, the way we respond to life matters far more than the circumstances we cannot change.
